兩岸恢復交流後,1992年台灣終於開放大陸演藝團體來台從事商業性演出,1993年4月北京京劇院率先登台在中山堂公演,這是自1949年王振祖帶領中國劇團來台演出,睽違四十四年之久,大陸京劇院團再度站上台灣舞台。
隨之中國京劇院、天津京劇院、天津市青年京劇團、上海京劇院、江蘇省京劇院、甘肅省京劇團、金獎京劇團與山東省京劇院、江西省京劇團、武漢京劇團、南京市京劇團、浙江京劇團、福建京劇院、寧夏京劇團、中國少年京劇藝術團、北京戲曲藝術職業學院兒少京藝術團、中國戲曲學院實驗劇團,以及與朱世慧、裴艷玲相關戲曲院團等陸續跨海而來。
1992至2010年間,僅於1994年「千島湖事件」和2003年「嚴重急性呼吸系統綜合症」SARS疫情蔓延危及全球,兩次特殊情況下短暫停止交流,其餘時刻,大陸京劇院團猶如過江之鯽,頻頻登台公演。而如此繁密的演出,卻極少受到關注,是故本文以大陸京劇院團為論述中心,針對這些公演進行研究。
本研究以平面媒體《聯合報》、《民生報》、《台灣申報》、《PAR表演藝術雜誌》的報導暨評論和當時演出節目冊為主,並以貢敏的文集《戲度今生》與《戲有此理》、王安祈的專書《臺灣京劇五十年》及蔡欣欣的專文〈當代兩岸戲曲交流的回顧與研析(1949-2009)〉作基礎,另佐以相關人士訪談,補充文獻資料未盡之處,探討當代大陸京劇院團台灣演出之發展與影響。
希望由歸納及分析其演出型態、票房、劇目、人員、迴響等現象,試圖從中梳理大陸京劇院團台灣演出的歷史脈絡,除了進一步深入了解這些其實與台灣京劇息息相關的公演之外,亦藉此豐富台灣京劇史。
1992 is a year of Taiwan and China to recover the relationship of exchange. Taiwan government agree to open for China performance groups business visiting. It's remarkable for the meaning that the Peking opera troupes from China back to the stage in Taiwan after 44 years gap of disconnection since the last visiting of Wang and China troupe.

Between the year 1992 and 2010, the exchange of Taiwan and China only paused twice for the emergency occasion, "thousand island lake incidents in 1994" and " Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome(SARS) in 2003". Beyond those two crisis, China Peking opera troupes visit Taiwan very frequently. The Arthur noticed this situation is hardly mentioned in essays, and make research based on it.
